DAVID LUIZ is in talks to return to European football during the January transfer window.
Luiz, 37, left the Premier League in 2021 after two years with Arsenal that took place after two stints with Chelsea.
The versatile defender returned to his native Brazil as he signed with Flamengo and spent three years with the Rio de Janeiro giants.
The ex-Brazil international left the club last month and is currently a free agent.
And Luiz’s representative Julio Taran has confirmed he is in talks with Olympiacos.
And the ex-Paris Saint-Germain star’s representative stated that a deal with the reigning Europa Conference League winners is not unlikely.
Taran told Greek journalist Johnny Georgopoulos: “Yes, there are chances David Luiz will play for Olympiacos. We are in contact with the Greek club.”
Luiz is also close friends with Olympiacos star Rodinei, with whom he played for a year at Flamengo until the full-back moved to Greece in 2022.
Taran even claimed that the right-back is “pushing” for a reunion with his former team-mate in Piraeus.
He added: “Yes, this is among the reasons [Luiz’s friendship with Rodinei].
“Rodinei is like family for David Luiz. Rodinei has spoken highly about David Luiz to Olympiacos management and is pushing for his arrival.”
Luiz experienced immense success at Chelsea where he amassed 248 appearances across two stints.
The defender also won the 2017 Premier League title, two FA Cup trophies, the 2012 Champions League and two Europa League honours.
